"Hey Mr X,
I love your 'how girls waste time' page. I'm so pissed off at this girl, and somehow i landed at your blog, and i saw this link to 'how girls waste time'. I clicked it only because your entries appeared sufficiently non-trashy at first glance (composed in decent english, not filled with colourful gaudy hearts and stars etc). So cool. So many reasons that apply directly to this idiot of a girl am interested in."

Web Mail extension and Hotmail component

A: I´ve updated Webmail and Hotmail extensions to the latest available and i´m still getting "negative vibes" with Thunderbird 1.5 latest branch builds...

B: What do you mean by negative vibes? No one understands what your problem is. Negative vibes means like you have a feeling that something bad is going to happen or you get the feeling that someone doesn't like you.

A: It´s a Thunderbird error that says:

"sending of password did not succeed. mail server localhost responded: negative vibes"

Yucheng's Yahoo account also got deleted a few years back. It seems Yahoo has a proven track record of random, unexplained and unjustified deletion.

Free riding/Tragedy of the common toilet - The modern Tragedy of the Commons

Postmodernism - "While postmodernism seems very much like modernism in these ways, it differs from modernism in its attitude toward a lot of these trends. Modernism, for example, tends to present a fragmented view of human subjectivity and history (think of The Wasteland, for instance, or of Woolf's To the Lighthouse), but presents that fragmentation as something tragic, something to be lamented and mourned as a loss. Many modernist works try to uphold the idea that works of art can provide the unity, coherence, and meaning which has been lost in most of modern life; art will do what other human institutions fail to do. Postmodernism, in contrast, doesn't lament the idea of fragmentation, provisionality, or incoherence, but rather celebrates that. The world is meaningless? Let's not pretend that art can make meaning then, let's just play with nonsense."
